Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the Dissolved Oxygen/Temperature TRACER. Units of measure are % saturation, mg/L or ppm for dissolved oxygen and C° or F° for temperature. Advanced features include data hold, 25 point memory, auto shut off, automatic temperature compensation, and salinity/altitude compensation. Careful use and maintenance will provide years of reliable service. -

Page 6: Operation
OPERATION Filling the Electrode The electrode is shipped dry and requires f lling with the supplied electrolyte solution before the f rst use. The membrane should be in place and does not need to be replaced. Follow the procedure on page 9 for f lling the membrane cap. Powering the Tracer The Tracer uses four (4) CR2032 Lithium Ion Batteries. -
Page 7: Changing Salinity Compensation
Changing the Salinity Compensation With the Tracer ON, momentarily press CAL twice in quick succession. ‘SAL’ will be shown on the lower part of the display. Momentary press MODE. Each press of MODE increases the salinity compensation by 1ppt (part per thousand); the available range is 0 to 50ppt. Momentarily press CAL to save the compensation setting and return to the normal measurement mode. -

Auto-Power Off Feature The auto power off feature automatically shuts the meter off 10 minutes after the most recent button press. To disable this feature, refer to the Disable Auto-Power Off section. Disable Auto-Power Off Feature With the meter ON, momentarily press CAL, then quickly press and hold both MODE and ON/OFF until ‘oFF’... -
Page 9: Set Up
SET UP Membrane Cap Assembly - Filling and Replacement The electrode is shipped dry and requires f lling with the supplied electrolyte solution before the f rst use. The membrane should be in place and does not need to be replaced. Important Note: Do not touch the membrane as skin oils will interfere with the oxygen permeability rate of the membrane. -
Page 10: Polarization
Do not move the membrane cap assembly. Dip the electrode into the assembly and remove it. Repeat this step several times. With each dip, progressively push the electrode deeper into the electrode solution in the assembly. This dipping technique will minimize the introduction of air bubbles into the electrolyte solution. -
Page 11: Optional Zero Oxygen Calibration
Moisten the sponge in the electrode cap with distilled water or tap water. Do not soak the sponge. Replace the electrode cap on the electrode. There must be an air gap between the membrane and the sponge. Wait until the reading stabilizes. Press and hold CAL until ‘CAL’ is shown on the display. -

Page 17: Maintenance Battery Replacement
MAINTENANCE Battery Replacement Twist off the battery compartment cover. Holding the battery housing in place with a f nger, pull out the battery carrier using the two small tabs. Replace the four (4) CR2032 batteries observing proper polarity. Replace the battery carrier, reattach the battery compartment cap and tighten securely. -
Page 18: Electrode Storage
Electrode Storage Store the TRACER with the Electrode Storage Cap in place. The sponge in the cap should always be moist without excess liquid.
